'World Goth Day'

[Richard A Thackeray]

I was never a Goth, saw a few bands, including Skeletal Family, Sisters Of Mercy, etc…
I still have a few friends who were Goths in the mid-80s
Some still are!

A contradiction in terms?
A 'happy' Goth

EDIT @ 11:10
These photographs give a clue to my musical tastes
I was about 21 here (maybe 22)

I got into Goth music quite late via one of my social workers.

Still love The Cure, Sisters, Fields of the Nephilim, Souxsie and the Banshees.

They all still sound as fresh now as they did back in the day.

Ah, so I should expect to see some happy goths celebrating today?

i remember going through a brief Goth phase in the 80s. I liked the music so trying out the style seemed like a logical step forward. I felt like a bit of a plonker TBH.

Yesterday was World Ninja Day. Nobody noticed. So a great success.

Leeds Bar Phono

I visited sporadically in the early 00s, was always an excellent nighclub and I have friends who went to to Uni in leeds at that time who stand by the weekly visits being a highlight.

I used to go to ’Raffles’, in Wakefield
